#NeedleWorkMonday🌸 State Fair project
Happy #NeedleWorkMonday!
🌸Please excuse my sideways photos.... Still figuring out how to fix that!🌸
My two oldest daughters and I have entered a few exhibit categories this year.
So, we have been working on our projects!
I entered five sewing categories.
For one, the "serged baby item", I decided to try a new pattern.
What is "serged"?
Check out the inside seam of your shirt.. Most likely it's a serged seam. A serger is a sawing machine that uses 3-5 spools of thread (mine uses 4) to stitch and finish the edge of the seam.
This is the Breezy Romper by Brindille & Twig.
I intended for this to be my entry piece, alas I made a few mistakes, and it's not up to my standards.
However, It was great practice and super cute on #hippiebaby!

That romper is adorable. I love the shape at the back, I think it is nice a little looser (and definitely practical for diapers 😉). The material is also one of my favourite colours.
Can I ask what went wrong with it? From these pictures it looks great.
Thank you!
It definitely fits generously. She wears 24m-2t in everything, this is the 18-24m pattern.
My serger was having issues keeping even tension, the neck band top stitching is awful and i messed up a snap, which damages the fabric some removing it to fix it :/
But its useable for my girl!
Hi Mama! Filling you up with kisses!!! Lol 💋 😘 😚
I see now why I couldnt see in the photos. Good luck on round 2. It looks good on 😀
That romper is so beautiful that I would love to see it sold out there, @corrielaine! Fits your girl perfectly! I love the buttons on top and the floral patterns!! <3
Sending you big kisses from @steemitmamas!
You made that!!!??? Wow!!! It's really really cute! I would buy that if I have a baby... My youngest is 4 now... The flower design would look pretty too if it's made into a dress... Maybe I should learn to sew one day... then I can make my girls dresses...
Thank you!
My best friend actually has a handmade clothing company. These rompers are one of the peices in her summer customs line.
Hers look way better than mine though!
Thank you!!❤
Ahh the photography tricks ;)
Good photos and well presented things make even the not so great things look nice!
Thank you for the compliment!
I looove this print, I had 3 yards of it, but Im running low!
Ive used it many times for shoes too!
OMG!!! They are soooooo CUTE!!!
Aw thank you!
I do love my messy head cheeser!
There you go! 100% upvote kisses for you! Love your needlework! Unfortunately, boys don't get cute rompers like these! hahahaha #steemitmamas
Ok - the pictures weren’t loading earlier so I could only read your words but not see the pictures.
These pictures make the post! You have a gift my fellow mama, you make beautiful projects and even more beautiful babies ❤️❤️
I like the colors you chose.
What a great pattern! The fabric is lovely, too.
This is the cutest romper and even cuter model <3 I wish I was half as clever as you!!! Kisses

That’s lovely @corrielaine.
Nothing compares to clothing lovingly sewn by your own mama.
Loving the prints, and the matching shoes!
Much love and kiss and hugs to you. Will let other mamas to catch you. Coz I got one before. :)
By the way, I admire your talent and work. Your daughter is blessed. :)
woww sooo pretty and such a talented mama!!! 😘

as for the photos, did you take the photos using a digital camera or your phone?
You are really an amazing seamstress! I would love to be able to sew this good. I can’t see any mistakes, all I see is Cuteness and professional...I could see it in a store! Such a cute model for the outfit, looks adorable on her! Oooohh those shoes in the comments are soooo Cute!! 😍
I wish you all well for the contests!
Thank you 💋
Actually, this romper is so cute on boys ( in less girly prints). Check out the pattern link, lots of little boys wearin it!:)
Aw thank you 💞
I sure love creating things for my babies!
Thank you!
The Brindille & Twig patterns are really easy to follow, they come with great tutorials!
The fabric came from The Purple Seamstress, she has the best prices on very high quality fabric!
Thank you! I love my full time models!
You ARE very clever, esp at things Im still wrapping my head around! Like coin, and bytes, etc.
Thank you🌸
I always LOVED when my mom made our clothes! My girls seem to as well!
Woot woot! Another beautiful mama-made outfit. Haha, she's adorable and you made a matching footie!
I have to get my sewing machine out. I have a pile I need to hem but don't want to mess with it right now
wow this is so well done, can't believe this isn't up to your standard, wow I think it is perfect, well done @corrielaine xx
Thank you💞
Thank you @vincy!
My phone. Most of the time the upload right side up. But some days, they are wonky.
Thank you!
I suppose most people wouldnt notice the "issues", if i would find it fit to sell, then the judges will see the mistakes too.
Im excited for project #2!
I hate hemming things! Haha!
Id much rather just make a whole new one!
Thank you!
I suppose i should take pictures of the mistakes.
Ah that is a thing with phone cameras, if you took the photo in a certain angle they can be stuck in the wrong side. All you need to do is adjust it in the phone - but are they the right side up on your phone?

I took them vertically 💁
Ughhh so stinkin' cute!!! Please smother those cheeks as much as you can! That romper is beautiful 😍 Sending you lots of 😘😘😘
😱😱😱 so beautiful!!!
I LOVE this onesie!! It is adorable and looks so cute on. I have a serger but I have yet to learn how to use it! My mom got it for $20 or something super cheap at a garage sale and passed it on to me.
Accept the compliment, it was your skill too!
Ah that’s weird then. Actually my brother had some issues too with his android phone maybe that? Haha

I ensure those squishy cheeks are loaded with mooches daily!
Did it come with the instruction book? Youll need it!
Sergers are amazing once you get the courage to use them!
This is adorable! I love it. I have been meaning to get to a sewing class to brush up my skills from grade 7 home economics. Ha ha ha! My mom has a serger just collecting dust and I am hoping to get it back into action one of these days. Lovely post, sideways photos and all. -Aimee

I bought one of those iron on hem for my work slacks hahaha. I haven't made a whole outfit, well, if you count a body bag for the little ones out of my old pants, maybe I did make a "whole one". :)
So cuteee! Love the baby, love the buttons, love the fabric! The serger is such a handy machine but expensive over here... Think I need to start saving to get one.
I love the print and the skills displayed in your work :D @corrielaine - you rock !
My serger was a gift years ago. Worth its weught for sure!
Thank you!!❤
You’re welcome! I look forward to seeing how it all goes!
